Peoria Arts Center Is Valley’s Best New Playhouse
Theater Works Also Earns 13 Awards for Excellence in Acting and Production
10/1/2008

PEORIA, Ariz. (Oct. 1, 2008) – The Peoria Center
for the Performing Arts and Theater Works, its resident theater company, have
had a great week. Fresh off Phoenix New Times’ selection of the theater as the
Valley’s “Best New Playhouse,” Theater Works earned 13 “ariZoni” awards for
superior acting, directing and production. But that’s not all – the facility
also earned an award of merit from the Arizona component of The American
Institute of Architects.

Theater Works was nominated for 44 “ariZoni”
awards, Arizona’s premier live theater honors. They took home 13, including
eight for their original youth production, “Life as Joby.” Written and directed
by Theater Works’ Jim Gradillas, “Life as Joby” earned awards in the children’s
theater category for best original production, best actress (Heather Gottlieb),
best supporting actor (Jeremy Katz), best guest actor (Markus Maes), best
director, best original writing and best lighting and sound design. Theater
Works also won awards for “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” and youth productions of
“Peter Pan” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”

“We knew that once we moved into the Peoria
Center for the Performing Arts we would be able to ramp up our production values
and improve the overall artistic quality to a level that our patrons,
supporters, advertisers and the community at large expected and deserved,” says
Jack Lytle, Theater Works’ managing director. “I am happy to report that we are
doing just that.”

In selecting Peoria’s venue as the Valley’s “Best
New Playhouse,” Phoenix New Times said the quaint and cozy theater “stole our
heart,” and raved about its “dazzling” production quality, “cool” concession
stand and “groovy” copper roof. Perhaps most impressive is the fact that
Peoria’s theater topped both the new Tempe Center for the Arts and Mesa Arts
Center to take the award.

An amazing week for the Peoria Center for the
Performing Arts was capped when the Arizona component of the American Institute
of Architects selected it as one of 12 design award winners for 2008. The awards
recognize excellence in design, planning and construction. A distinguished group
of international architects from Mexico City chose this year’s award recipients
from among 145 nominations.

Lytle says that all of these awards from
different organizations point to one thing – superior productions at a
first-rate facility – one that more people should come out and see.

“If you haven’t seen a Theater Works show lately,
you haven’t seen Theater Works.”
